When I bought my car in 2000, the timing belts hadn't been changed in 12 years - and I still drove the car hard. I took it off the road a few months later and did the full service plus more.
I wouldn't chance it. I know better now since a friend of mine in Seattle has a GT4 like mine and one of the belts snapped in his car. It broke several valves damaging the cylinder head and put a hole through one of the pistons. He's still in the midst of his rebuild, but it should be finished this December.
